Join us for a guided hike this summer!

This season, visitors can join us twice a month from July-October for scheduled drop-in guided hikes and walks. Programs will depart from outside the summit Learning Lodge at 10:00am and will last between 1 and 2 hours (dependent on route and pace of group). Terrain and difficulty will vary, but all walks will take place on First Hill trails. Routes will be announced on our website and social media channels a week prior to program date. Trail descriptions can be found here.

Programs are free to the public (individuals are responsible for admission fees), but donations from program participants are greatly appreciated and directly support our outreach and education efforts!
